Yesterday was Frankie's 8-month birthday! I cannot believe that he is already 8 months old. It seems like just yesterday I was coming home from the hospital with him. Time is literally flying by, and he is changing so much each and every day. I spent too days away from him this weekend, and I missed him like crazy!
At 8 months, Frank is:
- extremely busy, always wanting to touch, feel, and taste everything. I thought he was busy before, but this is on a whole new level.
- crawling, everywhere! He is getting faster and faster, and we literally cannot turn away for a minute without him trying to get into something he shouldn't.
- fascinated with wires, remotes, cell phones, and my camera.
- becoming a huge ham! He knows my camera and he smiles and poses when i pull it out to take his picture.
- pulling up on everything. It was just two weeks ago that he started to pull up, and he has gained so much strength since then, it is truly amazing. He can pull himself up to standing on the couch, coffee table, bar stools, high chair, basically any and everything. This weekend he also started cruising along the couch and coffee/end tables at my parents' house. He is also learning how to get himself down from standing, and he is getting better at that every day too.
- loves standing up. He can stand briefly unassisted, but usually he is at least leaning against a piece of furniture or holding on to something with one hand.
- absolutely loves the water, including bath time and pool time. They say he goes crazy on Friday splash days at day care.
- still toothless, but getting more hair every day.
- wearing size 12-18 month clothes.
- still babbling, mostly da-da-da, although he says ma-ma-ma and makes other sounds on occasion. Sometimes he whisper babbles, which is soooo cute.
Frankie is the love of our lives, and we are so blessed to have a healthy, happy and sweet baby boy.
